I don't know how is in US, but in Romania there are security companies that provide 24/7 monitoring for as little as 40$ a month with a contract that guaranties a 7 minutes response, if you want lower you pay more. They include motion sensors & means to connect directly to their teams to alert the closest one. I own a small business and had no problems until now. But they usually call me if they see an unusual pattern - like opening at night or if I forget to set the motion sensors on after a certain hour. They even provide you with a panic button.

Is there anything like that for small business in US?

Yvonne Lee, Community Manager at Dice.com writes, "Not using standard job titles, not tying your work to real business results and not using the right keywords can mean never getting called for an interview, even if you have the right skills to do the job. I once heard advice to use the exact wording found in the ad when placing your keywords. I think you're even more unlikely to get a job if you do some of the things on this list."

I use a different metric - if I can make the money in the time spent... fuck it - I buy a new one. If I can't make the money - I buy old.
On the other hand I like taking things apart.

Side note: When I was a student I used to take the slower and cheaper trains just so I can read, but for the same reason - I couldn't make the money spent on a faster train in the time gained (usually 1-2 h).

I know people who make tons of money and they steal paper from work. I'm blush when I see them doing it. Ffs 500 Sheets of printing paper costs like 5$. And if they ask the acquisitions they would get them even cheaper when the company buys in bulk and they can sell anything they can get in bulk directly to you at the acquisition costs.

It's not the brightness, it's the contrast. I can't see shit in low light... I had myopia now after a had crystalline implants I see almost 20/20 at almost any range except in the 0-50cm proximity in low light. I could read at the light of the stars with myopia, now I can't read shit... but I can see the writing. I found that if I have more light (contrast) I can almost read anything a normal person can read.

So many people forget about how AMD changed the game more then once, It would be a shame for them to go under.

x86-64, on CPU northbridge and memory channel.

And ITX motherboards with e350 have like 4 sata3 ports - I have one of the beasts running a storage server... you have to buy some expensive motherboard from Intel to have that.

YOW!! The land of the rising SONY!!
